D. E. DORTCH. 




We come with a mes-sage from heav-en a - bove,We come from a Fa-ther of in - fi- nite love; 

He gives to His peo-ple the bless-ing of peace,From sin's con-dem-na-tion he of-fers re-lease; 
The an -gels, a-dor-ing,their off'-rings do bring, Their heav'n-ly ho- san-nas in tri-umph they sing; 
His glo-ries in heav-en e - ter-nal- ly shine, Though hu-man to suf-fer, His pow'r is di - vine;

To you and all na-tions good tid-ings we bring;For now hath a- ris - en a Sa-vior and King. 
His king-dom is bound-less,His reign with-out end, He comes to re-deem you, to save and be-friend. 
Though Lord of all glo - ry, He com-eth to save From sin's des - o - la- tion.from death and the grave. 
Then has-ten to seek Him.bow low at His feet! 0 give Him the hom-age, the praise that is meet !

His word saves me whol-ly, with-out and with-in, Defends in temp-ta-tion and cleanses from sin.

FAR FROM HOME. 

'Oh ! that I had wings like a dove, for then would I fly away and be at rest,"— Psalm 55:

1. Far from my home in this strange land, A wanderer I„roam: Here foes around me thickly stand. But I am marching home. 

2. While pensive tho'ts within me burn. And stir my troubled breast; My eyes to heav'n I quickly turn, In search of perfect rest, 

3. 0 give me pin-ions like a dove, Then would I fly a - way; I'd soar a -loft to heav'n a-boye, And dwell in endless day. 

4. I'd mount a-bove the tempest loud, And ride up-on the storm: I'd bid de - fi-ance to theproud, And never feel a - larm. 

5. Then I would speed my heav'nly flight, And bid this world farewell; I'd soar away to realms of light, Where peace and quiet dwell.

74 JESUS PAID IT ALE. 

(Key of E flat. ) 
1. I hear the Saviour say, 

Thy strength indeed is small ; 



Child of weakness, watch and pray, 
Find in me thine all in all. 

Chorus. — Jesus paid it all, 

All to Him I owe : 
Sin had left a crimson stain ; 

He washed it white as snow. 

Eord, now indeed I find, 
Thy power, and Thine alone, 

Can change the leper's spots, 
And melt the heart of stone. 

For nothing good have I 
Whereby Thy grace to claim — 

I'll wash my garment white 
In the blood of Calvary's Lamb. 

When from my dying bed 
My ransomed soul shall rise, 

Then " Jesus paid it all " 
Shall rend the vaulted skies. 

And when before the throne 

I stand in Him complete, 
I'll lay my trophies down, 

All down at Jesus' feet. 



75 I AM COMING TO THE CROSS

Blest Lamb of Calvary ; 
Humbly at Thy cross I bow, 
Save me, Jesus, save me now.

Long has evil reigned within ; 
Jesus sweetly speaks to me, — 

"I will cleanse you from all sin.' 

3. Here I give my all to Thee, 

Friends, and time, and earthly store 
Soul and body Thine to be, — 
Wholly Thine forever more. 

4. In Thy promises I trust, 

Now I feel the blood applied ; 
I am prostrate in the dust, 
I with Christ am crucified.

Perfected in Him I am ; 
I am ev'ry whit made whole : 
Glory, glory to the Lamb. 



76 WHAT A FRIEND. 



73 



(Key of F.) 

1. What a friend we have in Jesus, 

All our sins and griefs to bear ; 
What a privilege to carry 

Ev'ry thing to God in prayer. 
O, what peace we often forfeit, 

O, what needless pain we bear 
All because we do not carry 

Ev'rything to God in prayer. 

2. Have we trials and temptations ? 

Is there trouble anywhere ? 
We should never be discouraged, 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 
Can we find a friend so faithful, 

Who will all our sorrows share ? 
Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness, 

Take it to the Lord in prayer. 

3. Are we weak and heavy laden, 

Cumbered with a load of care ? 
Precious Saviour, still our refuge, — 

Take it to the Lord in prayer ; 
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee ? 

Take it to the Lord in prayer ; 
In His arms He'll take and shield thee, 

Thou wilt find a solace there. 



' 77— HAPPY DAY.

On thee, iny Saviour and my God.

"When Jesus washed my sins away ; 
He taug-ht me how to watch and pray 
And live rejoicing- ev'ry day. 

Happy day, happy day ; 
"When Jesus washed my sins away. 

2. 'Tis done, — the great transaction's done; 

I am my Lord's, and He is mine ; 
He drew me, and I followed on, 
Rejoiced to own the call divine. 

3. Now rest, my long divided heart, — 

Fixed on this blissful centre, rest ; 
Here I have found a nobler part, 

Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast. 



78 JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL. 
(Key of F.) 

1. Jesus, lover of my soul, 

Let me to Thy bosom fly, 
While the nearer waters roll, 

While the tempest still is high. 
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, 

Till the storm of life is past ; 
Safe into the haven guide, — 

Oh, receive my soul at last. 



2. Other refuge have I none ; 

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee ; 
Leave, oh, leave me not alone : 

Still support and comfort me. 
All my trust on Thee is stayed ; 

All my help from Thee I bring ; 
Cover my defenseless head 

With the shadow of Thy wing. 

79 COME THOU FOUNT. 

(Key of F.) 

1. Come Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing-, 

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace ; 
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, 

Call for songs of loudest praise.

Sung by flaming tongues above ; 
Praise the .Mount, — I'm fixed upon it 

Mount of Thy redeeming love. 

2. Here I'll raise my Ebenezer, 

Hither by Thy help I'm come ; 
And I hope by Thy good pleasure, 

Safely to arrive at home. 
Jesus sought me when a stranger 

Wandering from the fold of God ; 
He to rescue me from danger, 

Interposed His precious blood. 

3. Oh, to grace how great a debtor, 

Daily I'm constrained to be ! 
Let Thy goodness as a fetter. 

Bind my wandering heart to Thee 
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it- 
Prone to leave the God I love- 
Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it, 
Seal it for Thy courts above. 



80 THE FOUNTAIN FILLED WITH 
BLOOD. 
(Key of C.) 

1. There is a fountain filled with blood, 

Drawn from Immanuel's veins, 
And sinners cleansed by that pure flood 
Lose all their guilty stains. 

2. The dying- thief rejoiced to see 

That fountain in his day ; 
And there may I, though vile as he, 
Wash all my sins away. 

3. E're since by faith I saw the stream 

Thy flowing- wounds supply, 
Redeeming love has been my theme 
And shall be till I die. 

4. Then in a nobler, sweeter song 

I'll sing Thy power to save, 
When this poor, lisping, stammering 
tongue 
Ivies silent in the grave. 



81 ALAS ! AND DID MY SAVIOUR 
BLEED. 
(Key of A— flat.) 

1. Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed? 

And did my Sov'reign die ? 
Would He devote that sacred head 
For such a worm as I ? 

2. Was it for crimes that I have done 

He groaned upon the tree ? 
Amazing pity ! grace unknown ! 
And love beyond degree ! 



3. Well might I hide my blushing face 

While His dear cross appears, 
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, 
And melt mine eyes to tears. 

4. But drops of grief can ne'er repay 

The debt of love I owe ; 
Here, Lord, I give myself away ; 
'Tis all that I can do. 



82 NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE. 

1. Nearer, my God, to Thee, 

Nearer to Thee ! 
E'en though it be a cross 

That raiseth me, 
Still all my song shall be, 

Nearer, my God, to Thee, 
Nearer to Thee ! 

2. Though, like the wanderer, 

The sun gone down, 
Darkness be over me, 

My rest a stone, 
Yet in my dreams I'd be 

Nearer, my God, to Thee, 
Nearer to Thee ! 

3. There let the way appear 

Steps unto heaven ; 
All that Thou sendest me 

In mercy given ; 
Angels to beckon me 

Nearer, my God, to Thee, , 
Nearer to Thee !

But that Thy blood was shed for me, 

And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, 
O I/amb of God ! I come, I come. 

Just as I am, and waiting- not 

To rid my soul of one dark blot, 
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each 
spot, 

O Lamb of God ! I come, I come. 

Just as I am, thoug-h tossed about 

With many a conflict, many a doubt, 

Fighting within and fears without, 
O Lamb of God ! I come, I come. 

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind, — 
Sight, riches, healing- of the mind, 

Yea, all I need, in Thee to find, — 
O Lamb of God ! I comeV I come.

Burst forth from ev'ry eye.

The wondering angels see ; 
Be thou astonished, O my soul ! 
He shed those tears for thee.

For my soul ?

For my soul.

While millions join the psalm, 

I will sing- !

He will embrace me in his arms ; 

In the arms of my dear Saviour,

God's free beauty glorify, 
True belief and true repentance, 
Ev'ry grace that bring you nigh.

Will you tell to trembling mourners 
Jesus waits to take them in.

Till our God makes all things new.

I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, 
Supported by thy word.

Till death shall set me free ; 
And then go home my crown to wear,

At Jesus pierced feet, 
With joy I'll cast my golden crown, 

And His dear name repeat.

Be of sin the double cure, 

Save from wrath and make me pure. 

2. Could my tears forever flow, 
Could my zeal no languor know, 
These for sin could not atone, 
Thou must save and thou alone : 
In my hand no price I bring, 
Simply to thy cross I cling. 

3. When I draw this fleeting breath, 
When my eyes shall close in death, 
When 1 rise to worlds unknown, 
And behold the on thy throne, 
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 

Let me hide myself in thee.

'Tis manna to the hungry soul, 
And to the weary, rest.

Witnesser of Jesus' merit, 

Speak the word of power to me. 

5. Love of God, so pure and changeless; 

Blood of Christ, so rich and free; 
Grace of God, so strong and boundless, 
Magnify them all in me.

Bind my heart, O Lord, to Thee, 
While the streams of life are springing- 
Blessing others, oh, bless me.

Child of sorrow and of woe —

Hope of earth and joy of heaven; 

Precious name. O how sweet, 
Hope of earth and joy of heaven.

As a shield from every snare; 
If temptations round you gather, 
Breathe that Holy Name in prayer.

When his loving arms received us, 
And his songs our tongues employ!

Falling prostrate at his feet, 
King of kings in heaven we'll crown 
him, 

When our journey is complete.

GO YE INTO AEL THE 



WORLD.

All pow'r is given unto me; 
Go ye into all the world and preach the gos-

Send forth the gospel, break the chains of

calling, 

" Why will ye die ? " re-echo in His Name : 
Jesus hath died to save from death appalling, 
Eife and salvation, therefore, go proclaim.

nation 

"Glory to God " triumphantly shall sing ; 
Ransomed, redeemed, rejoicing in salvation, 
Shout " Hallelujah, for the Eord is King."

|04 — FROM GREENLAND'S ICY 
MOUNTAIN. 



(Key of E-sharp.) 

From Greenland's icy mountains, 
From India's coral strand; 
Where Afric's sunny fountains 
Roll down their golden sand. 
From many an ancient river, 
From many a palmy plain, 
They call us to deliver 
Their lands from error's chain. 

What tho' the spicy breezes 
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; 
Though every prospect pleases, 
And only man is vile ? 
In vain with lavish kindness 
The gifts of God are strown; 
The heathen, in his blindness, 
Bows down to wood and stone. 

Shall we whose souls are lighted 
With wisdom from on high, 
Shall we to men benighted 
The lamp of life deny ? 
Salvation! oh, salvation! 
The joyful sound proclaim, 
Till earth's remotest nation 
Has learn'd Messiah's name. 

Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, 
And you, ye waters, roll, 
Till, like a sea of {jflory, 
It spreads from pole to pole.

Till o'er our ransom'd nature 
The L,amb for sinners slain,, . 
Redeemer, King, Creator,, 
In bliss return to reigmv 



105 COMMUNION HYMN, 
(Key of B-flat. ) 

1. 'Twas on that dark, that doleful night, 
When powers of earth and hell arose 
Against the Son of God's delight, 

And friends betrayed Him to His foes. 



2. Before the mournful scene began, 

He took the bread, and blest and brake ; 
What love thro' all His actions ran ! 
What wondrous words of grace He 
spake. 

3. Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate ; 

We show Thy death, we sing Thy 
name, 

Till Thou return and we shall eat 
The marriage supper of the I^amb. 



(06 DOXOIyOGY. 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow, 
Praise Him all creatures here below, 
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host, 
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

the signature, its octave is also made sharp or flat.
